To conduct the preliminary positioning and qualitative research of high-frequency ultrasonic imaging at Ashi points (including tender points and trigger points) in neck-type cervical spondylosis and explore the relevant law so as to provide the evidence for the selection of acupuncture scheme. ⋯ In the high-frequency ultrasound imaging at trigger points and tender points in neck-type cervical spondylosis, the ultrasound imaging characteristics present, which are similar between the trigger points and the tender points. The high-frequency ultrasound imaging is valuable in positioning and quantitative research of Ashi points in cervical spondylosis and has a certain significance to guide treatment.

Randomized Controlled Trial
[Clinical study of post-stroke upper limb spasmodic hemiplegia treated with jingou diaoyu needling technique and Bobath therapy].
To compare the difference in the clinical efficacy on post-stroke upper limb spasmodic hemiplegia between the combined therapy of jingou diaoyu needling technique and Bobath technology and simple Bobath technology. ⋯ The jingou diaoyu needling technique combined with Bobath therapy achieve the superior efficacy on post-stroke upper limb spasmodic hemiplegia as compared with the simple application Bobath therapy. This combined treatment effectively relieve spasmodic state and improve the upper limb motor function and the activities of daily living.

To identify the feasibility and safety of fossa infratemporalis approach for blind-needle at sphenopalatine ganglion so as to provide anatomical evidence for the operation and the prevention of non-immediate adverse reaction. ⋯ Fossa infratemporalis approach is feasible for blind-needle at sphenopalatine ganglion with less possibility to contact it. The effect of treating nasitis may achieved by little distance to nerve. Pricking at the pterygopalatine segment of maxillary arteria may induce non-immediate adverse reaction. The safety and efficacy should be comprehensively considered. There is a proportional relationship between the width of the skull and the insertion depth of the needle. The inserting depth of 44 percent may appropriate accounted for skull width.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
[Comparative study on the effects between manual acupuncture and electroacupuncture for hemiplegia after acute ischemic stroke].
To compare the efficacy differences between manual acupuncture (MA) and electroacupuncture (EA) in the treatment of hemiplegia after acute ischemic stroke. ⋯ EA acts on the rehabilitative effect on nerve defect function in the patients of hemiplegia after acute ischemic stroke. It improves limb motor function and the ability ofdaily life activity. The efficacy is better than that of MA.

Randomized Controlled Trial
[Acupotomy and acupuncture in the treatment of avascular necrosis of femoral head at the early and middle stages:a clinical randomized controlled trial].
To compare the efficacy difference between acupotomy and acupuncture in the treatment of avascular necrosis of femoral head at the early and middle stages. ⋯ Harris hip score and the effective rate in the acupotomy group are better than those in the treatment with routine acupuncture for avascular necrosis of femoral head at the early and middle stages.
